Chapter 209: Wiping Out in One Fell Swoop
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I meant what 1 said.” The man in black said dangerously, “Tong Yujie, if you don’t follow the orders, you can forget about seeing your sister.”
Tong Yujie slowly relaxed his body. He could not be led by the nose. He calmed down and said, “Hehe, my sister is already dead. The one you found must be an imposter.”
“Is she dead?” The man in black said indifferently, “That girl is 70% to 80% similar to you. There’s a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her shoulder.”
Tong Yujie clenched his fists tightly. “There are many people who look alike. Moreover, my sister doesn’t have any birthmark.”
The man in black was getting frustrated. “Tong Yujie, it’s useless to deny it. Godfather has already confirmed her identity.”
Tong Yujie’s expression was calm. He did not seem to be threatened at all. “What does it have to do with me? Besides, 1 haven’t seen my sister for more than ten years. We don’t have much to do with each other.”
Only by acting like he didn’t care could he save his sister’s life.
The man in black did not expect Tong Yujie to say this, but he would not believe it. Everyone knew that Tong Yujie had been looking for his sister. How could he not care? He must be pretending.
“That’s your business. Anyway, 1 only know that if you don’t do as Godfather says, you and your sister will die!”
“Do you think threatening me will work…” Tong Yujie was halfway through his sentence when a wave of pain suddenly attacked him from his heart and instantly spread to every inch of his body. He fell from the tree.
Pain! Heart-piercing pain!! A pain that made his soul scream!!!
Tong Yujie curled up his body and gritted his teeth. His lips trembled slightly and cold sweat broke out.
The man in black flew down from the tree and looked at Tong Yujie with a dark gaze.
A moment later, he raised his foot and stomped on Tong Yujie’s face. He exerted strength until half of Tong Yujie’s face was in the soil.
A cruel smile appeared on the man’s face. He insulted, “Tong Yujie, you’re just a dog with a cheap life. Why are you pretending to be high and mighty? Why are you pretending to be aloof? Why are you pretending to be cool?”
Tong Yujie reached out to remove the man’s foot, but he was too weak to do so. He was in so much pain that his vision turned black.
The man in black took out a small white bottle from his pocket and raised it in his hand. “Beg me. Beg me and I’ll give you the antidote!”
Tong Yujie gave up trying to remove the man’s foot. He hugged his sword tightly and curled his body even more. What was there to be afraid of about death? What he was afraid of was living a life worse than death, just like now.
When the man in black saw how stubborn Tong Yujie was, he was so angry that he kicked Tong Yujie and sent him flying into a tree trunk. The force made the tree trunk shake violently.
Tong Yujie could not take it anymore. He groaned and fainted from the pain.
Seeing this, the man in black clenched his fists hatefully. “Why are you such a hard nut to crack?”
He did not dare to let Tong Yujie die. He forced open Tong Yujie’s mouth and stuffed the antidote down his throat.
After feeding Tong Yujie the antidote, he took out a letter from his pocket and stuffed it into Tong Yujie’s clothes. Then, he left.
It did not take long for Tong Yujie to wake up. The heart-wrenching pain had already dissipated. It felt like a century had passed.
He slowly got up from the ground, leaned against the tree trunk, and took out the letter.
There was only a short sentence in the letter. “Kill Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong within a month. Otherwise, you and your sister will die.”
Tong Yujie tore the letter into pieces and scattered it everywhere.
Kill Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong. Hehe, if they were so easy to kill, they would have wiped out almost the entire assassin organization.
They were all good people. The world was unstable. It was not easy for such good people to appear to stabilize the situation. Why did he have to kill them?
As the most powerful assassin in the assassin organization in the northern border, he had already lost before his sword was completely unsheathed! How could he kill them?
He leaned against the tree trunk dejectedly and looked up at the waning moon in the sky. The moonlight was pale, like the color on his face.
There was a swoosh. Chu Qingzhi, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes.
She quietly got off the bed and took down the letter that was inserted into the wall. On the read was written. “I, Tong Yujie, challenge you, Chu Qingzhi, to a duel on Tianhe Peak.”
Chu Qingzhi instantly frowned. What was wrong with Tong Yujie?
After putting on her clothes, she went to the backyard. Chu Qingzhi jumped lightly and flew to the roof. Her figure was like a ghost as she flew towards Tianhe Peak.
Tianhe Peak was the mountain peak where she often had a date with Tang Jinghong.
On the mountain peak, Tong Yujie’s body was surrounded by a cold aura. He held a sword in one hand and stood there straight, as if he was calmly facing death.
Chu Qingzhi landed behind him and asked in confusion, “Tong Yujie, why did you want to fight me?”
Tong Yujie turned around calmly. “I’ve always wanted to fight you, but 1 didn’t have a chance.”
Chu Qingzhi’s heart skipped a beat. “You’re a killer?”
Tong Yujie was shocked, but his expression did not change. “Why can’t 1 be a Ranger?”
Chu Qingzhi exposed him. “The killing intent you exuded betrayed you.
Rangers walk the righteous path and won’t carry such thick killing intent.”
Tong Yujie reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword. “Since you’ve guessed it, there is no need for me to hide!”
“You’re not my match, and I don’t want to fight you.” Chu Qingzhi looked straight into Tong Yujie’s eyes. “I can see the struggle in your eyes. It’s complicated, you are forced to fight and are determined to die. Were you threatened?”
Tong Yujie was shocked again. He had planned to let Chu Qingzhi kill him so that his sister could regain her freedom. He did not expect Chu Qingzhi to see through him at a glance.
“No!”
Chu Qingzhi was speechless. Anyone with a brain could tell that he was lying. “Usually, there are only two situations that can threaten someone. It’s either your family members have been caught or the person you like has been caught. Which one?”
Tong Yujie lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was guilty of lying.
After a long time, he slowly said, “Sister, a sister who has been separated from me for more than ten years. I’ve been looking for her, but 1 didn’t expect someone to find her first.”
At this point, Chu Qingzhi did not beat around the bush. “Who’s the person behind you?”
Tong Yujie naturally saw no point in hiding. “Wan Zhilin!”
“It’s the northern border again!” Chu Qingzhi was so annoyed.
Tong Yujie was a little puzzled. Chu Qingzhi seemed to hate the northern border. Why?
There was a moment of silence. Chu Qingzhi crossed her arms and looked up at Tong Yujie. “How about we work together?”
“Alright.” Tong Yujie agreed without thinking. “1 only want my sister and me to be free. As long as you can help me achieve it, 1 promise you anything.”
“How much do you know about the northern border?” Chu Qingzhi planned to wipe out the northern border in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles.
Tong Yujie showed his sincerity. “1 grew up on the northern border and can enter and leave the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border freely. Other than top secrets, 1 know everything.”
Chu Qingzhi was very satisfied. “Let’s stop here for tonight. I’ll invite Jinghong over tomorrow night and we’ll talk.”
Tong Yujie nodded. “Okay..”
